Sony Ericsson Xperia X10: Factory Reset to Wipe the Phone Clean

If you would like to sale or return your Sony Ericsson X10 device, purging the device of your personal information is smart. A factor reset will erase your synced google information, application data, and downloaded applications. This process will return your device to its factor fresh state.

This process will really erase all your information from your phone. If you wish to use the device again, be sure to backup all your information before proceeding.

This process will NOT erase the information on your SD card such as much or photos.

Worked for me, thanks. At first the unlock slider didn’t seem to work, after pressing a few buttons and trying to rotate the unlock slider it seemed to allow me to unlock the phone again. Back your stuff up first before doing this, I used MyBackUp. Good luck & make sure you do some research before doing this!
